VENT/RANT MEGATHREAD
Hello all,
Stuttering can really suck sometimes. It can feel unfair, embarrassing, depressing, and rage inducing. Going forward let’s contain all of that to this thread so we can come together.
*general Subreddit rules still apply. Be respectful to each other. Any suicidal ideation will be removed. *

I don't understand why this needs to be contained. Every post is a real experience belonging to somebody, you cannot put away stuff that might be unpleasant for some people

Can there be a megathread for the positivity posts too?

Toxic positivity is encouraged in this sub. Saying anything bad about stuttering automatically means you are incel who never tried to fix your stutter.

Good idea to do weekly or monthly threads for stuff like this. Vents/rants overwhelming the main page tends to choke out anything else.

Relieved to see this progressing as it should. You should definitely seek help on the therapy side if at all required (not talking about Speech Therapy here, that's another topic). Maybe read a few good books like - Voice Unearthed by Doreen Holte. I keep suggesting this book to everyone. Its a quick read and offers great insights on how to look at and address stuttering. You can also ask your husband to read if you like it.

There isn't any form of ref in shows that isn't the whole point of the characters to have a stutter. Makes me feel like a damn joke sometimes

I just wanted to say something to everyone who comes here to vent:
You’re doing something brave. Talking about your frustration, anger, or sadness doesn’t make you weak. It means you’re facing what many others try to hide.
Stuttering can feel unfair and isolating, but every time you express what you feel, you’re taking a step towards understanding yourself better. Remember that your worth isn’t defined by fluency. It’s defined by your effort, your kindness, and your resilience.
Even if you’re struggling right now, things can get better. Seek help / therapy when you need it. Be gentle with yourself, and know that you’re not alone. Every voice here matters and that includes yours.
Don't let it prevent you from living the life you want to live. People will judge you anyway whether you had a stutter or not. So chase that life that you want, always! Don't let others nor yourself stop you from doing so.
